Identify the hole and measure a square that covers the damaged area, noting the length and width in millimeters (mm).

Before marking the new measurements on the replacement fabric, ensure that there is a quarter-inch gap on all sides.
-
Place a mark for each side of the previously gathered measurements.
-
-
-
Cut the replacement fabric along the marked dots, ensuring that the quarter-inch space before each mark is included in the cut.

-
Cut a length of thread that is approximately twice the perimeter of the square patch.
-
Thread the needle and tie a knot at the end to secure it.
-
-
-
Place the fabric over the damaged area, ensuring it fully covers the damaged area.
-
Begin a temporary stitch by inserting the needle in and out of the fabric at evenly spaced intervals to create a dashed line.
-
Once finished, tie a secure knot and cut the thread to free the needle.
-
-
-
Re-thread the needle with a new piece of thread and knot.

With a new colored thread, begin a permanent stitch with tighter spacing using the same technique.

Tie a knot and trim excess thread close to the knot.

Cut open the temporary stitch to remove it.

Once the patch is completely sewn, trim the patch as desired to ensure neatness.
